cd order problem

$

0

Im having a problem with Autocad 2015. I have been using the CDORDER command to determine the color order, with no problem with the index colors suggested by Autocad, but when using a true color outside from the index palette, issues arise. The true color does not appear in the CDORDER list of colors (so therefore I cannot assign an order to it), and when I execute the CDORDER command with all other colors, the true color is set at the highest (it still does not appear on the list, but it cover all other objects). Has anyone experienced this issue?

Stretch window

Maybe a dumb question.....

 

When I want to stretch some entitied, and I want to do a stretch crossing window/polygon, and I am over some solid hatching, the first click always selects the hatch as an object and prevents me from doing a window.

 

Of course I can freeze the solid hatch layer, but I wonder if anyone knows how to get around this ?

 

Thanks.

Changing the lead in and lead out for cutting parts

Hi everyone,

I really need help changing the lead in & lead out distance and place. When I make a CAD drawing and burn it on a plasma machine it just starts cutting from any angle. I can save lots of material if I knew how to change at least the location. If anybody can help me with me I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you

Exporting AutoCad drawing to .stl format

$

After I complete my AutoCad2012 drawing of a solid, I wish to export this solid into an .stl file to eventually use to print using a 3D Printer. Every time I select the option to export it as an .stl file, it appears as a "Certificate Trust List" and thus is unable to be printed on the 3D printer. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Is there a solution? Thank you for your time.

Viewports won't always show objects.

Recently I have been having a problem with AutoCAD 2014. In paper space sometimes in the viewports objects, text, blocks, and dims will not show up. They are not hidden and the scale for annotation is set correctly. Also, when I change the scale (sometimes) , if I have Revit or another AutoCAD DWG open, it will switch to those and scale random items.  To fix the problem I have to scale the viewport to another scale then back again for them to show up. I can also double click in the viewport and REGEN to have them show up. My company uninstalled and reinstalled AutoCAD to see if that fixed the issue. Everything was going smooth until a couple minutes ago. This is a major problem that I am having. If anyone knows why this is happening or how to fix it, please let me know.

 

Thank you.

Autocad scaling

I am using AutoCad 2012 and a solid that I plot as being 10"x2"x2" comes out of the 3D printer much smaller than those dimensions. Is there a way to change the scale to make it so that the plotted dimensions will be equivalent to the dimensions of the output of the 3D printer? 

AutoCAD 2014 wipeout draw order

When inserted from the tool palette, certain dynamic block wipeouts display in front.  However, the block displays correctly in the block's source file.  I have gone into the block editor and sent the wipeout to the back, but the wipeout still displays in front.  Any ideas as to keeping the wipeouts in the correct draw order?

Problème enregistrement fichier Autocad 2015 sur partage Windows SBS 2011

$

Bonjour,

 

Voilà mon problème, depuis le changement de serveur où étaient hébergés les fichiers Autocad, j'ai des gros souci pour enregistrés mes documents.

 

Le Serveur: SBS2011. A noté que la principale difference entre l'ancien est le nouveau serveur est la version puisque l'ancien était un SBS2008 qui en fait est un Windows 2008 Serveur Standard tandis que le SBS2011 est un Windows 2008 R2 Standard (x64).

 

Mon Pc: Windows 7 SP1 X64

 

Version d'Autocad: Autocad 2010 / Autocad 2010LT

 

Antivirus: Il exclu bien les fichier .tmp, .dwg, .dxf et autres formats Autocad/Solidworks (tester même sans antivirus)

 

Droit sur les fichiers: J'ai bien tout les droits sur les répertoires et sous répertoires (création, suppression, modification etc...)

 

Fichiers: Quand le dwg est ouvert, il est ouvert par une seule personne

 

Voici les messages d'erreurs:

 

1/ Lors de l'enregistrement sur mon lecteur réseau d'un .dwg (qui existe déjà, une fois modifié, je fais donc Enregistrer) j'ai le message suivant: Des objets dans ce dessin ne peuvent pas être enregistrées au format spécifié. L'opération ne s'est pas effectuée et aucun fichier n'a été crée.

 

2/ Lors de l'enregistrement sur mon lecteur réseau d'un .dwg au format .dxf (qui existe déjà, une fois modifié, je fais donc Enregistrer Sous et choisi le format DXF) j'ai le message suivant: "Z:\\BLABLA\BLABLA\blabla\sav5A68.tmp" Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier

 

3/ Lors de l'enregistrement sur mon lecteur réseau d'un .dwg au format .dxf (qui existe déjà, une fois modifié, je fais donc Enregistrer Sous et choisi le format DXF) j'ai le message suivant: Impossible d'enregister vers le dessins Z:\\BLABLA\BLALA\blabla\toto.dfx.

Le dessin a été enregistré vers Z:\\BLABLA\BLALA\blabla\sav5A68.tmp

 

J'ai tester les choses suivantes et cela fonctionne:

- Enregistrer sur mon PC en local.

 

L'enregistrement local n'est pas une option puisque ces documents sont partagés à différents dessinateurs.

 

Les messages d'erreur ci-dessus étaient complètement aléatoires pendant un moment autrement dit parfois je pouvait enregistré sans souci et parfois non j'avais ces messages tandis que maintenant ils sont devenu de plus en plus présent ce qui m'oblige à travailler en local ce qui n'est pas du tout pratique.

 

Si l'un d'entre vous à une idée je suis preneur.

 

Merci

Inserting a block, it defaults to Top Left.  Hundred percent of the times, I always use Middle Center for what I do.

Is there a variable to default the Overall cell alignment to MIddle Center?

I have a thru hole with 2 different diameters. .118 and .103.

but what Im getting in my dimension string looks like this "%%x.100 ∅ .118"

placement changes between viewport and model space???

$
0
0

I typicall draft my construction details in model space and then switch to paper space to do all the labeling so everything lines up nice and straight. Once I have everything labeled I do a quick chspace command to move all my text labels into model space to keep all the text and linework together. Just now I have been working like this and for the first time ever, when I go back into model space to be sure everything moved the way it did well...it didn't this time. For some reason my text and line work look they way they are supposed to in their viewports, but in model space i have my line work in one location and the text in another. The model space version of work is all skewd. If I move the text back with the linework, then nothing looks right in the viewports for printing. Has anyone had this issue or can help explain what is going on??? I've never had this issue before and it'd be nice to get it resolved or at least understood.

 

 

Plotting an overly on film/acetate

I'm plotting an overlay on film but it wont line up to the paper plot of the same viewport. I created marks to use to align, I'll line up the marks on one side bu the other side seems about an inch off. It's almost as if the acetate is stretching. The sheet size is 48"x36" and the plotter is an HP T1500 HPGL2 driver. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks,

Sorry if this is a super bonehead question, but how do I access Project Browser/Navigator in 2015?

 

In 2013 I could type it in the command line, access it from the application menu or use the icon on my quick access bar. I've tried all of these and find nothing. Even searching help only sends me to VBA Project info. I also checked the new home screen, all I find is sheet set. 

 

Thanks
